I am
Cem Bilen.
A digital marketing strategist with over 15 years of international experience. I specialize in creating tech-driven strategies that help brands connect with audiences worldwide.
LinkedIn
In digital marketing, most people fall into one of two buckets:
The Creatives
They make beautiful videos, write great copy, and design graphics, but they don’t know how to look at a spreadsheet or build complex tracking codes.
The Data Nerds
They build GA4 architectures, manage CRMs, and do technical SEO, but they can’t edit a video or design a landing page to save their lives.
I do both.
I produce broadcast-quality video and manage advanced analytics architectures. That combination is incredibly rare.
I am a Vancouver-based Senior Digital Marketing Manager who moves beyond theory to execute end-to-end strategies. My expertise covers the entire marketing lifecycle—from defining objectives and allocating budgets, to rolling up my sleeves to code UI/UX-friendly web ecosystems and produce the visual assets myself. This dual skill set allows teams to move fast, keep external agency costs down, and maximize ROI.
